Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons ... charged ions are attracted to each other by strong electrostatic forces of attraction. There are usually a large number of these in a lattice ...

Covalent drugs function by forming covalent bonds with specific amino acid residues, enabling sustained modulation of target proteins. Compared with cysteine-targeting strategies, lysine serves as ...

Plasma also forms functional hydroxyl-, carbonyl- and carboxyl- groups to increase surface energy which increases adhesion and bond strength, says Montrowl. “That’s a different mechanism than just ...

Most organic drugs contain one acid group, usually a carboxylic acid, -COOH, or one basic primary, secondary, or tertiary amino group, NC 1-3, [3,22,27,28,29] that determines the acid-base ...

A viable solution is to immobilize enzymes within solid porous matrices. Among the most recently developed porous materials are covalent organic frameworks (COFs). They hold great potential as enzyme ...

To connect coating materials that lack reactive groups, the “bridge” forming adhesion promoter needs a highly reactive group that can insert in otherwise unreactive chemical bonds ... adhesion ...

Employing reciprocity considerations, de Broglie conjectured in 1923 that because electromagnetic radiation exhibits some particle behavior, matter particles should exhibit some wave behavior.

An art project called the Goodbye Line prompts passersby to make a collect call and say goodbye — to a loved one, a pet or maybe a part of themselves. People are dialing.
